Former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and Texas Democratic Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett of Texas will be in Alabama to show support for Democratic Congressional candidate Shomari Figures ahead of the Nov. 5, 2024, election.Former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and Texas Democratic Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett will be in Alabama next week campaigning for Democratic congressional hopeful Shomari Figures , his campaign announced Thursday.
The visits, according to the campaign, will highlight the importance of “voting, unity and progression for the state’s future.” “The support of leaders across the country has been humbling,” Figures said in a statement. “I look forward to continuing their work across this District and in Washington. The nation is once again looking at Alabama to stand up and do what is right for the people of District and across this state.”
The redrawing of the district occurred after the U.S. Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision in Allen v. Milligan, agreed with a lower court’s determination that Alabama should have at least another congressional district where Black voters were a majority or were close to it. The state’s lone Black member of Congress is U.S. Rep. Terri Sewell of Birmingham, who represents the 7th district. About 27% of Alabama residents are Black, according to census data reported last year.
